Dane @ Tycho & Dane Sunrise - Burning Man 2023 - Heartgasm

On this week's RIPEcast our close friend and PInk Mammoth resident DJ Jonathan Will with a live set poolside from Birds of a Feather 2024. 

From Jonathan, "This mix comes from closing out the pool party at the famed Birds of A Feather event on Saturday. 

There was so many things I liked about this party, different crews that don’t always get to play or be together because they do separate events, friends I hadn’t seen in years, bird puns (upon puns) for days, and great peeps. 

Special thanks to all the organizers that put it on and was honored to be amongst a killer set of djs with eclectic sounds. It was one for the bird books. Hope you enjoy."

Part 2
Recorded live at the Palm Canyon Swim & Social at the Arrive Hotel, this two-part, five-hour session soundtracks a sun-soaked day in the desert. From laid-back grooves to late afternoon energy, the mix flows through deep house, organic textures, bluesy undertones, and a touch of hip-hop soul. Press play and drift poolside. 🌴🌙 💦

Arrive Hotel Palm Springs - Pool Mix 2 of 2

Welcome to your summer soundtrack —
Where Playa dust meets poolside lust.
A sonic elixir of Disco, Deep House, and Afro House — mixed for sun worshippers, barefoot dancers, and sunset dreamers.

Think sand in your toes, glitter on your cheeks, and bass in your bones.

Surrender to the groove. Float on, glow up, get weird. ☀️🎧🔥🦩

Float On

I sure hope you enjoy my second set from Camp Dayfunk 2025 as much as I enjoyed playing it!   If you do, please give it a like and consider re-posting it on Soundcloud - it just takes a second and is the most helpful way to share cool music to new people!

Camp Dayfunk is a Minneapolis-based campout in just its second year, taking place 2 hours East in the Wisconsin Woods - and I enjoyed its quality, intimacy, and cute little camp touches immensely.  Both this event and this set are very special to me <3

Before anything, let's talk about the Mix Cover.  I got great pictures from my first set and none from this 2nd, and it's fine.  Because I got something better than a picture - I got a Danceflooor Badge!  

It was one of the greatest honors of my DJ career to earn one of only 8 Dance Floor badges given out at this event  - not for my 4 hours of playing music where I dance some but maintain focus on the mixing - but for my many more hours of representation on the dancefloor as a dancer, which is where this all started for me... and honestly has stayed.  

I fricken love dancing and absolutely think it makes me a better DJ to study and appreciate music from both sides of the decks. I don't dance to everything and also want to give props where props are due - the music at this event was rock solid, and receiving the dance badge has as much to do with the quality of the other DJs playing as it does my dance stamina.  Fun fact, the most I ever danced was at @mingameslaby in Japan in 2007 ;)

Okay, about the music and vision for this set!  My first set at the event, the night before, was previously posted to the event's Soundcloud (@user-467880110) and I had a full dancefloor and lots of energy coming back at me - a Dj's dream.

This, my second set, Saturday 4-6pm, was a bit different.  It's daytime, there's a beach, and @djdanmusic, @Dj-Mes, and Mazi aka @audiosoulproject are playing B2B2B on that stage.  Right at the same time as my set at the Pavilion stage!  First thing that comes to my mind after I realize they are simultaneous - wtf am I going to do?

Contrast is the answer.  If people want it funky, they're gonna want to be down at the other stage.  I mean I wanted to be there too lol.  And who the heck wants the 2 stages to sound the same anyway, that's silly.  So I leaned into this contrast theme for my set.  Someone told me that I may have confused people a little lol.  I said 'good!'  

I'm really glad I had the opportunity to play the night before, because that was my more funky set - though my interpretation is a bit different from most.  I also won some hearts there, which created more interest than there would have been I think.

So anyway, this set was a challenge - a friendly challenge to myself to play a 2 hour set that was a bit out of the box without losing people, that would serve as a worthy contrast to that devastating funk of Dan, Mes and Mazi.  
 
I would guess overall people there probably liked my first set a tad more - but for me this one was hands-down the winner.  Partly because it was a full 2 hours of new music. Partly because my cup was already full since  I had nailed my set the night before and even got extended an extra hour -  the best hour.  And partly because I had experienced some challenge locking the XDJ the night before, but was effortlessly near flawless on Saturday. I felt zero pressure to do anything but be myself, and play what I felt at that time <3

In general, I favor very full tracks that envelope you with sound.  Besides contrast, the theme for this set is laid back and expansive.  There's funkiness, sure, there are some peaks and valleys energetically, but not at all like the night set.  Overall, it's a smooth ride through deep house with some vocals, minimal house and even a touch of techno, all  around 124bpm. 

Thanks for reading to the end!  I Hope you enjoy the music, and perhaps this background too!

Echoes of Desire

Easy Tiger hunts sound with influences from blues, jazz, rock, and soul, then simmers them into a danceable delight of global grooves. Born in New Orleans and raised outside Austin, Nic grew up on a musical gumbo rich in rhythm, grit, and groove. As a kid, he sat behind soundboards at live venues with his uncle, sparking a passion that quickly turned into a full-blown obsession.

Everything changed in ’96 when he caught his first house set. From there, it was crate-digging, Technics-turning, and chasing underground grooves wherever they led. Texas was the launchpad, Detroit, Chicago, and London shaped the sound, and California brought the polish—now he’s kicking up dust in the Joshua Tree high desert, still blending flavors from every city he’s touched.

With over 25 years behind the decks, Easy Tiger delivers deep cuts and feel-good vibes, weaving together eclectic rhythms. It’s a sonic safari with one mission: keep the dance floor purring.
